Lynell Hecht

An educator for over 20 years, Lynell Hecht is the author of two books. The story, The Bossy r, was created to introduce r controlled vowels in a fun and memorable way. It is published in a dyslexic friendly font that may be helpful to some. Her second book, The Blessing Bell, is a companion storybook to the gift item, The Blessing Bell. "As a child, my family had a special bell in our house that we rang on many occasions. From celebrations, to having it by a bedside in case of a nightmare or when one of us had a stomach bug, this bell was put to good use. There were four children in our family and we often joked about which one of us would inherit this highly coveted bell. That was no longer a question when it was lost in a house fire. As adults, we all found bells of our own to call our Blessing Bells. And the traditions continued." Lynell lives in Memphis, TN with her husband, her two sons, and two cats.
